TERMITES
Termites. It’s incredible to witness what kind of damage such a small creature can inflict. With an amenable climate for these pests, Texas is considered an environment highly prone to termites and the infestations that can come with them. These insects can eat your home from the inside out, causing problems that can start as cosmetic and wind up as structural. There are a few different species that inhabit Texas, winged termites, subterranean termites, and dry termites being the most prolific. Each of these can cause problems, and the best way to know if your home is safe is to have a professional inspection. Thankfully 855Bugs provides peace of mind with our Free Inspection. It’s recommended to have your home inspected at least once a year by a professional, and if you’re considering building a new home, we’d be happy to talk to you about our pre-construction treatments that help ward off termites from day one. 855Bugs has been helping people in the Waco and Temple area manage termites for over 10 years!

BED BUGS
Bed bugs are often the most dreaded bug infestation in the eyes of the general public. If you’re terrified of bed bugs entering your home, you’re not alone! Let’s take a look at bed bugs: their appearance, their behaviors, myths, prevention, and, the topic everyone wants to know about, bed bug treatment.
RODENTS
Mice, rats, and other rodents are extremely resourceful and persistent creatures. Did you know a mouse can squeeze through an opening as small as ½ inch? And, don’t think you’re safe because that hole is only ¼ inch. They can easily chew through many surfaces to make that hole large enough to sneak through. Rats are excellent swimmers. While it certainly doesn’t happen often, rats can swim through sewer lines and wind up in your toilet bowl.

In Waco, when it rains, it pours. Storms and periods of high winds are also common. All of these weather conditions can pose a real threat to your property – and in particular, your gutters. With strong weather comes falling leaves, twigs, and other debris that can end up in your gutters. Luckily, with gutter guard installation services, your gutters can stand up to all this clutter.
The best way to ensure your gutter guards are installed correctly is to call in one of the pros from 855 Bugs to put them in for you.
What Are Gutter Guards?
Gutter guards, also known as leaf guards, are pieces of metal or plastic that overhang your gutters. Some types cover the gutter entirely, and others use wire mesh or grating to let water pass through while leaving the gunk behind. There are many different types of gutter guards, but they all have the same goal – to prevent leaves, twigs, and other debris from getting into your gutters.

Benefits of Leaf Guard Installation
Installing gutter guards on your home comes with a number of unseen benefits. Obviously, they keep your gutters running smoothly, but there are a few other interesting benefits that you might not think of right away.
Gutter guards can…
- Prevent clogs. If leaves and other debris can’t get into your gutters in the first place, they won’t be able to cause clogs.
- Fewer clogs means less standing water in your gutters. This will reduce the risk of rust in gutters.
- Certain types of pests can reside in clogged gutters. Mosquitos, for example, lay their eggs in standing water. Preventing clogs removes that risk.
- Reduce the need to clean your gutters. Less debris, less mess. You may find that you don’t need to clean your gutters at all to keep them running smoothly.
- Extend the lifespan of your gutters. Less rust and debris weighing them down means your gutters will last longer than before.
Can I Install My Own Gutter Guards?
While some gutter guards are fairly DIY-friendly, it’s always best – and safest – to enlist the help of a pro. Even if a trip up the ladder to clean the gutters is pretty routine for you, it can still be pretty risky to attempt installing guards yourself.
Minimize the risk of property damage (and personal injury) by enlisting a professional from 855 Bugs to install them for you. Plus, a pro can make sure they’re properly installed and as effective as possible.
